He was charged and tried in the state of California which has double jeopardy laws and he can't be charged again for the 13 year old (to the day I might add) murders. That said it's not unheard of for the federal government to step in and charge him with a violation of the victim's civil rights. That civil right being the right to life. Though I don't see that happening, if they were going to do that they would have back when he lost the civil case, IMO.

I agree but since he's had to hide all his income/money after the civil trial I'm wondering how he's gong to fund that appeal.
